Biography
Antoine-Francois Momoro was born in Besancon, France in 1756 to a family of Spanish origin, and he worked as a typographer in Paris before becoming the owner of several presses during the French Revolution. He became one of the loudest orators of the Cordeliers club, for which he had written several journal entries. He also published Jacques Hebert's newspaper La Pere Duchesne, and he took part in the campaign in the Vendee as a supply commissar for the French Revolutionary Army. Momoro and the Hebertists would make a grave error in insulting Maximilien Robespierre in addition to Georges Danton and the Girondins, and Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety sentenced the Hebertists to death. Momoro was guillotined alongside the other Hebertists on 24 March 1794.
